How to get Geo Targeting shit easily in yo’ motherfaking LPs and boost dem conversions!

Dude, don’t tell nobody, but I’m giving you the hookup right here, right now.

Dat’s right, I got here an 19 megabyte tarball dat comes with a database and some pee ach pee to utilize it. The database is only 28 megabytes, so it ain’t perfect, but it works in a pinch for the majority of north american visitors. You can set the default city for your LP as well.

Check it out in action at AHMAZING GEO DEMO

Grab the motherfucking tarball.

Take a quick peep at geo.php, it’s pretty understandable shit for any non-php coders.

No more excuses! Don’t use that gay ass javascript shit! It’ll slow down your landing pages like a motherfucker!

The AM formula

Hold your breath. Here’s the AM formula, in code:

clicks = impressions * ctr
cost = cpc * clicks

leads = cr * clicks
revenue = payout * leads

profit = revenue - cost

Just follow the cookie crumb trail to riches!

Purest form of making money

The purest form of making money is:

PPC and Affiliate Marketing combined.

Why?  Because it focuses on the bare essentials:

Buy traffic with ads -> Convert traffic to the affiliate offer -> Profit.

The nice thing about this is that it can be scaled easily when you have a working formula.  There are less limitations by buying the traffic you need.  Trying to SEO a site means a limited amount of traffic, and much more beholden to the vagaries of the search engines and your competition.

Downside of this business model: It can be easy for other people to copy your ads and landing pages.

Installing MySQL 5.1 on Archlinux

Prosper202 does much better on MySQL 5.1.  Here’s how to install that:

This is a bit of a hack, so first make sure you install mysql:

# sudo pacman -S mysql

Next, you want ABS (which has all of the package build information so you can compile your own version of an already existing package).

# sudo pacman -S abs

# sudo abs

# cp -R /var/abs/extra/mysql ~/

# cd ~/mysql

# wget http://www.foucist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/pkgbuild

# mv pkgbuild PKGBUILD

# makepkg -s

# if it fails, rm -rf src/  and pacman -S base-devel and try again

# sudo pacman -Uf mysql-5.1.30-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz   (the -f forces it to overwrite the existing mysql files)

# sudo /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart

# mysql –version  (should show client version 5.1.30)

# mysql   (should show Server version: 5.1.30)

ta da!
